Expression Builder Question
Aug 9, 2007
Hi all of you,
When you're making expressions with your own variables and system variables and so on. How could I see the contents for each variable?
When you have an expression like this:
"Cargas de Hacienda. " + SUBSTRING( @[System:ackageName], 7,20) + " "
You can perfectly click above "Evaluated value" and see the resutl but I mean, individually over each variable on the variables listview is not possible.
Thanks for any input or advice,
Enric

am trying to do the following in SSIS.
I have Execute Process Task, in which I have the values are set for Executable, Arguments and working Directory manually. I keep changing this if the Connection Manager points to Dev or when it points to QA or to Prod. Instead I want to do like this.
If my Connection Manager points to Dev, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change. Else if it points to QA, the Executale , Arguments and Working Directory should automatically change and similarly for Prod.
Is this possible in Expression Builder in Execute Process Task. If so, how?.
Thank you

I ran in to a strange problem in Report Builder. I drop a few fields from my Report Model on a simple talbe report. Some of them are straight forwards attributes and some of them are expressions.
Now in the table layout of a report I have say a attribute named as "Account Number". This attribute is actually a field from a table. I change the column header to a two line column header with €œAccount€? on one line and €œNumber€? on second line. No problem, piece of cake.
Now tried the same thing on an expression type attribute, say "Principal Balance". When I split the column header on two line I get this following error.
==============================================================
Semantic query compilation failed: e MeasureNotFound One of the SubtotalMeasures.MeasureName properties of the SemanticQuery refers to the Measure Expression 'Principal
Balance', which does not exist. (SemanticQuery '').
----------------------------
An error has occurred during report processing.
==============================================================
If you read the error you will realize that the query is trying to find an expression named "Principal" (newline char) "Balance" and it fails.
This expression is nothing but a sum aggregation on a field in the underlying table. If I put the "Principal Balance" back on one line report runs like a charm. Also note that exact same report in Designer no issues at all.
FYI: I am in SQL Server 2005 with SP2. (tried it both on Standard and Enterprise versions.)

Nobody answered my previous question. So, I am putting it this way.
How to write an IF condition in Expression builder. I want to do something like this.
IF (variable1='ABC' then
value = '.......'
else variable1 ='DEF' then
value = '.......'
else variable1='GHI' then
value = '.......'
END
Thank you.

I can't figure this one out. I don't have enough knowledge of the string functions I guess.
I need to pull a value out of a variable I setup in a for each loop. The value is the filename/path of each source file being processed. Let's say the variable that has the source file path is called VAR1.
One sort of off topic thing I've noticed is when watch the variable in bebug mode and I look at the value of VAR1 it has double back slashes. Here's an example of the value of VAR1:
"\\L3KRZR6.na.xerox.net\C$\Documents and Settings\ca051731\Desktop\Project4\DPT_20070926.ver"
How come the back slashes have been doubled? And do I need to account for that when I start parsing the string value?
Anyway, I need to grab part of the filename from VAR1 and I need the value populated at the start of the for each loop container - ideally when I capture VAR1 in the for each container. I'll be using the string in drop table, create table and create index statements before the actual Data Flow task within the overall package
In the above example I need to grab the characters before the underscore and after the last \. So I'd need the string "DPT" captured in this example.
The actual string could be 1 to 3 characters long, even though this example has it as 3 long.
Underscores could exist anywhere in the actual UNC path once this package is moved to our actual system environments so I can't key off of the underscore.
Because I can't count on the string being a fixed lenght I can't just use a positional string function and grab specific text starting/ending at specific points.
Is there a way to use the various string functions in the expression builder to grab the text between the right most underscore and the right most back slashes or something like that? Ideally I'd like to setup a new expression based packed scope variable called VAR2 and build it using string functions applied to VAR1.

Hello,
I am attempting to create an expression for a package variable in a SQL Server Integration Services project, but the elipse button in the expression property for the variable does not appear (Visual Studio 2005). I've tried two different screen resolutions, no luck.
Why would the elipse not be there? Is there a keystroke I can use to open the exrpression builder?
Thank you for your help!

This works:
len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate())
This doesn't:
"dataware/"+ len ((DT_WSTR,2)DATEPART("mm", getdate()))==1 ? (DT_WSTR,1)0 + (DT_WSTR,1)DATEPART("mm", getdate()) : (DT_WSTR,4)DATEPART("mm", getdate())
I tried a couple of different things at this point, where am I missing the cast? Before len? Cast to what?

I would like to add additional string functions and other types of functions to the expression builder in SQL Server Integration Services. Right now the list of functions is relatively limited to such things as FINDSTRING, RIGHT, LEN, etc.
Is this possible?

Hello,
I am using the following expression to access a daily file.
"D:\importdata\peregrinedata\ACD_DATA_" + (DT_WSTR, 4) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR, 2)MONTH( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR, 2) DAY( GETDATE() ) + ".txt"
output: D:importdataperegrinedataACD_DATA_2008123.txt
I need to have this file by current day -1. I've tried dateadd and can't figure out how to get it to work.
Thanks

I have a co-worker who applied build 3161 to SQL Server 2005. The original problem was that the print preview was showing up as black.This is a documented issue with Microsoft here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935436
Now, when she goes into expression builder, the foreground AND background color for what you type in there appears to be white... so everything shows up as invisible. You can highlight the text you type and it shows up but otherwise it is obviously invisible.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Has anyone encountered this before?
My colleague opens up an SSIS package with variables, many of which use expressions built with the Expression Builder. She cannot bring up the Expression Builder by clicking the ellipsis (...) in the "Expression" Property of the Property Window, regardless of whether "EvaluateAsExpression" is set to True or False.
I can open up this same package and use the Expression Builder just fine. Any ideas?
Apologies if this has been answered already, I did many searches to try to find the solution before posting here.
Thanks much!

Hi,
I have implemented a custom source component that can be used as the data source in the Data Flow task.
I have also created a custom UI for this component by using the IDtsComponentUI .
But my component does not have the capability of setting the custom properties via the DTS Variables using the Expression Builder.
I have looked around for samples on how to do this, but I can only find samples of how to do this for custom Control Tasks, i.e. IDtsTaskUI.
My question is, How can implement the Expression Builder in my custom Source component + custom Source UI. Or do you know of any samples which I can look at.
Thank you,
Jameel.

How do you write an expression in report builder to only display the results that start with a certain string value..eg. Project Number - CUP1501, DPR1502, ENG1507 etc. These values will all get returned but I only want the Project Number that has CUP and DPR in it?

I have created 1 report with 2 datasets. This report is attached to the 1st dataset.For example,1st one is "Smallappliances", 2nd is "Largeappliances".
I created a tablix and, the 1st column extracts Total sales per Sales person between 2 dates from 1st dataset (Small appliances). I used running values expression and it works fine.
Now, I would like to add another column that extracts Total sales per sales person between 2 dates from 2nd dataset (Large appliances). I am aware that I need to use Lookup expression and it is giving me the single sales value rather than the total sales values. So, I wanted to use RunningValue expression within lookup table to get total sales for large appliances.
This is the lookup expression that I added for the 2nd column.
=Lookup(Fields!salesperson.Value,Fields!sales_person.Value,RunningValue(Fields!sales_amount.Value,
sum, " sales_person"),
"Largeappliances").
I get this error when I preview the report.An error occurred during local report processing.The definition of the report is invalid.An unexpected error occurred in report processing.
(processing): (SortExpression ++ m_context.ExpressionType)

Hi,
When i select datasource in Report Builder, i am able to see all the available DataSources.
Eg: I have selected one datasource from the list and which has 3 tables(table1, table2, table3) associated to that datasource.
when i drag and drop table1 fields to report, i am not able to see the other 2 tables(table2 & table3)
Is there any property or relationship do i need to maintain?
Thanks,
SR.

Good day,
I would like to know if there are any good MDX query builder tools out there. The one that is shipped with AS does not suffice in that it does not support more than 2 axes. Also if there are any are there any that make life a little easier in that they are drag and drop and all but create the statement for you?
I need to create a matrix in SSRS using cubes and in doing so need to write MDX queries, not my strong point. Are there any tools that can help me "auto create" the statement with drag and drop functionality?
Thanks in advance

Writing this formula but have a question on it...IF(AND(DATEONLY(LOAN FUNDED DATE)>=#12/1/2007#,DATEONLY(LOAN FUNDED DATE)<=#12/19/2007#), SUM (LOAN AMOUNT),0)
1) What can I change #12/19/2007# to use the current date and not have to change it daily?
2) When I run this report the report doesn't sum the total amount of all the loans in one line but it puts all the loan amounts on indiviual lines. What can i change to make all the loan amounts to add together and in one line?

Hi. I have just started to use Report Builder and I have a question about how you add parameter values to a title on the report.
For example, I have a parameter set up for a range of dates. But I would like the title to show these parameters e.g. Title should display "Sales from 01/05/2007 to 10/05/07" where the dates on the title are the parameters I have chosen.
I can easily do this through Visual Studio, but just wondering if Report Builder had the capability of doing this?

I have successfully deployed a standard Report (i.e. non Report Builder) to our Report Server using a Shared Data Source to an iSeries Access for Windows Driver. The Data Source has the following properties:
Type : OLEDB
Connection String : Provider=IBMDA400.DataSource.1;Data Source=AA;Initial Catalog=AA;Default Collection=MITDTA;Catalog Library List=MITDTA,MVXBDTA
The Report works perfectly using this connection.
However when I try to run a Report Builder Report based on a Report Builder Model that uses this same shared connection I get the following error:
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'OLEDB' that is not registered for this report server.
----------------------------
Cannot create command for data source 'dataSource1'.
----------------------------
An error has occurred during report processing.
Any ideas?

For the models I have created, there are tables (X and Y) which have multiple rows per emplid (which is the key that links these tables to the other tables). I want to be able to join on those tables in report builder and have the results only return only the most recent records in the table. Do you know how to do this and can you show me?

I am attempting to create a report using the report builder. I can see the button for the report builder on my report server but nothing happens when you click it. I also attempted to go directly to the url but once again nothing.
Finally, I attempted to run the application directly from the file structure and in doing so there I got the following errors. Could not find file 'reportbuilder.chm.deploy'. I created a junk text file with the same file name and attemted to run the app again and this time I got a error that said: Could not find file 'reportbuilder.exe.deploy'. After that I created another junk text file and named it the same as that.
This is part of the errors that I recieved. This doesn't suprise me based on the hack I did to get to this point. Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.
* Activation of Reporting ServicesReportServerReportBuilderReportBuilder.application resulted in exception. Following failure messages were detected:
+ Exception occurred loading manifest from file ReportBuilder.exe: the manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened.
+ File ReportBuilder.exe is not a valid Portable Executable (PE) file.
+ PE file does not have enough data.
I'm not sure what the overall issue is and why these files would be missing. Any guidance in relation to this situation would be great. Thanks.
